Jennifer Batten (born November 29, 1957) is an American electric guitar virtuoso who has worked as a session musician and solo artist, emerging mainly in the 1980s. From 1987 to 1997, she played on all three of Michael Jackson's world tours as his lead guitarist, and from 1999 to 2001, she toured and recorded with Jeff Beck.
